The Tascam SD-20M 4-Track is a solid-state recorder that uses a pair of microphone preamps with the switchable +48V phantom power to record audio directly from microphones. It has 2 XLR 1/4-inch mic-line combo jacks and 2 RCA line inputs. The recorder has a low-cut filter integrated into its design that can be set to three levels, 40, 80, and 120 Hz. With the dual recording function, the Tascam SD-20M can record a copy of your audio at a lower level to keep it as a distortion-free safety track. This recorder also allows you to divide the file to ensure easy management of the tracks. The recorder can be used to vary the playback speed of the recording without changing their pitch. You may record the sound in SD card directly up to 128 GB. The AA battery backup keeps your audio safe even after power loss.
